Dr Digi: Feeling Gnarly?

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here today with my Dr Digi post.

I created a card using Hangover Hannah from Dr Digi.  I'm sure many of us feel this way after the holidays, sickness (there's has been plenty going around), and late nights these past few days.  I colored this fun image with my Prismacolor pencils.  Just kept the design very simple. 

Here's the inside.

Mix It Up Challenge Blog #9: Let's Hang Out

Hello crafty friends!  Happy New Year!  I hope each one of you are blessed and have a healthy new year in 2018.

Since it's a new month, I have 3 wonderful posts for you today...enjoy.

This month at Mix It Up Challenge Blog, it's all about masking.  In this photo, I stamped the image that I wanted in front of the scenery that I was creating on mask paper.  Then carefully cut it out.

I stamped the image on the cardstock I was using for my card, then put the mask paper over that image.  Then stamped happily over the mask image.

After I was done stamping everything I needed behind the image, I pulled the mask paper off.  The tire swing and the grass were the main images I didn't want on the little girl.

The images are colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  It was nice to finally use this stamp set I bought years ago at My Favorite Things (MFT).  My goal this year is to use more my of my stamps in my collection, because many are unused.

Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog: #105: Tutu

Happy New Year crafty friends!  May you have a wonderful and blessed 2018!  I can't believe it's another year already....too fast.

Since it's a new month, I have 3 posts for you to enjoy and be inspired.

This month at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog, it's Anything Goes.  We have a wonderful sponsor and prize for the winner.

I created a card using sponsor stamp set Tutu from Cas-ual Fridays Stamps.  This set is adorable and so are the sentiments.  All I had to do was pick out what ink color I wanted to use and stamp.  Of course, I had to make it girlie by adding lots of bling.

Norman Rockwell Christmas

Hello crafty friends!   A little extra post from me today.  My last Christmas card for the year.

This was a class from Christopher Kerry.  He drew the lines for this image and 4 more, all inspired by Norman Rockwell.  Even though I usually print class images 5x7 or even a full page to learn techniques, this little one is 3.5".  I wanted to make a card out of these images, why waste time and paper printing off big images.

By keeping my Prismacolor pencils extra sharp, I could really get some details and depth in this small image.

Here's the inside.

Dr Digi: Xmas Pud Bag

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here today with my Dr Digi post.  Christmas is finally here!!  Hopefully you got those pesty Christmas cards out of the way and mailed.  Now, it's time to focus on the last minute Christmas wrapping.

Here's a cute little bag from Dr Digi called Xmas Puds.  I cut this bag and tag out by hand, scored and taped (or you can glue the 1 flap) in less than 30 minutes.  If you have a fancy cutting machine, Dr Digi has SVG and JPG files that come with this image. 

It's cute and easy.  Will fit gift card and/or small trinkets. 

thanks for looking and reading :o)

Let's Craft and Create: #132 Christmas

Hello crafty friends!  It's time for the mid-inspiration for Let's Craft and Create.  Tis the season, so Christmas projects we want to see.  Sadly, this will be my last post for this wonderful team.  I'm stepping down for some new adventures, but I'm seeing as, letting someone new inspire you.

It's hard to crank out a bunch of Christmas cards during the season.  I try to have half done before the holiday seasons begin, but that didn't work out this year.  This card was created using Alicia Bel's image Santa Claus Sleepyhead.  The image is colored with my Prismcolor pencils.  I try to make the design like a wrapped present.

Here's the inside.

Creatalicious #129 Antique Christmas

Hello crafty friends!  It's time for another wonderful challenge at Creatalicious, it's Anything Goes with the option Monochrome Christmas.  Sadly this will be my last challenge with Creatalicious, for I will be joining some new adventures at the beginning of the year.  Melanie and her team are sweet and wonderful to work with, I see you ladies around blogland :o)

I created a monochrome card using The Paper Shelter image December 26.   I tried to go for the sepia tones....do you know how hard it is to find the right blend with color pencils.  Yes, there is a sepia pencil, but you need depth, so different colors are needed.   After trying a few different color blends, I ended with this one.  The photo really doesn't do justice, the weather was gloomy outside.

Dr Digi: Christmas Band

Hello crafty friends!  Today is my post for Dr Digi and I'm trying to get my Christmas cards done, but time seems to be running out real fast.  I'm sure many of us are in the same boat.

Here's a card I created using X-Mas-No 1 image from Dr Digi.  The sentiment is from C.C. Designs and I drew in the music notes around it.  Music has been in my life for years and this image was a must have.  Even though none of these guys are playing a woodwind instrument, I still think they are as just cute.  The image was colored with my Prismacolor pencils.

Here's the inside.
